But first with the good news! Carlos was baptized this week!!
(Yep, our other baptisms fell, but they are just being moved to this week.)
Carlos is the brother of Branch1's president. He's cool. We're really proud of him. Now the branch president can say that almost all of his family are members! :) It's pretty cool.
We have a goal of 5 baptisms for this week... I'm not sure what's going to happen, but one thing is for certain... Alot of work. hahaha. We have alot of progressing investigators and after this week, our dupla will be assigned to only one branch. Which is super sad!! I wanna keep all of my investigators!! They're all so cool!! AGH! We'll see what happens.
Something cool about Fogo that everyone should know is that we, in fact, have sledding. It's true. I saw it yesterday. A kid was on top of a sheet of refrigerator coils bent up on one side, and was sliding down the road. Hahahaa. Oh man. If I had a camera.
ALSO! Saturday we taught this woman who is the mother of a member of the Branch. My companion was complimenting her on her head scarf that said " <3 Jesus." The lady was like "Oh, Thank you!! You've got to see this!" So she starts lifting up her apron. I think she's going to reveal a shirt with Jesus' face on it. Nope. Continues lifting up the apron to reveal a dog shirt. She pulls down the collar of her dog shirt. I think "Oh goodness. Does her bra say something about Jesus?" Nope. But pinned to the INSIDE of her bra is a Jesus button. She's a very nice woman. She gave us 4 mangos at the end of our visit. Probably the most interesting visit I've had all week. hahaha.
Today we went to see the beach. It was fun. The sand is black. What a heck of a battle getting it off my white skin. hahaha. But it's kinda cool bc if you keep going past Brava on the horizon, eventually you'll hit Florida! "HI MOM!" Haha.
The conference President gave was pretty cool. Every time I talk to our mission president, my Portuguese stops working. I forgot the word for "drive" then the only word I could think of was "ride" so.. hahaha. I'm sure he thinks I'm having problems, but no. Just in front of him.
In two days, I will hit my 6 month mark in the mission! WOO HOO! Everyone excited?! I am. I found Pillsbury Funfetti cake mix, 2 weeks ago. I've been saving it. :) MMMM!
Anyways, that's all I can think of. I hope everyone has a GREAT week! :)
Love, Sister Buhler
